SPECIFICATION forming partA of Letters Patent No. 236,327, dated January 4, 1881.

Application filed May 6, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Ross HALL, of Millersburg, in the county of Holmes and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eX- act description of the same.

rlhe object of my invention is an improvement in the class of coal-stoves having a reservoir or feeder attached exteriorly, and-which is so arranged that the coal is fed into the lower part of the iire-pot or combustion-chaluber, s that the combustible gases evolved by heat from the coal that lls the lower part of the chamber will pass up into the mass of inc mdescent coal which fills the upper portion of such chamber, and thereby become consumed and addto the aggregate amount of heat developed from the coal. Thus the gases which are unconsumed, and thereby wasted, in reservoir-stoves of the usual construction are utilized.

My improvement pertains particularly to the construction and combination of parts, as hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings forming part of my specilication, Figure l is a vertical central section,

. ou line x x, Fig. 2, of a stove embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line y y, Fig. l. Y Fig. 3 is a perspective vie-w. of

.the stove.- Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are detail views,

and Figs. l and S show the application of my improvement to a boiler-furnace and cookingstove, respectively.

The stove A has a fire-pot, a b c. The coalreservoir B is attached to the lower part of the stove exteriorly, so that coal is fed or delivered into the combustion-chamber or tirepot at or near the bottom. Reservoir or magazine B is provided with a hinged lid or cover, D, having a plate, E, which is hinged to the under side of the latter, so that when the cover is opened said plate will assume an inclined position (dotted lines, Fig. 6) over thejointof,

(No model.)

suspended from the dogs c, which form part of the devices that attach the magazine to the stove.

The lower part, d, of the magazine B is provided with tianges f, which enter grooved guides g, cast on the back of the stove. These guides are continued on three sides, but want'- ing on the fourth, so that thc magazine may be attached and detached by sliding it laterally, as will be readily understood. When attached as shown, it may be held fixed in place by a thumb-screw, h, Fig. 3.

The dogs e are in the form of staples, and their arms enter keepers or sockets t', formed on the respective opposite sides of the stove and magazine.

To remove the magazine lthe dogs or staples e are raised and drawn out of the keepers i, the screw h removed, and the magazine may then be slid laterally out of the grooves.

It is also apparent that the fender-plate F may be readily removed along with the maga'- zine B, since it is suspended from the dogs Gr, that pass through holes in the plate, l do not broadly claim the employment of such plate for the purpose hereinbefore specified.

1 The holes Kin the lower part of the magazine B allow insertion ot' a poker to facilitate or hasten feeding the coal downward into the rc-pot.` The holes are shaped as shown in Figs. 2, 4, and 5, and provided with pivoted drop-covers l.

1. The combination, with the stove A, mag- D `to adapt it to operate as specified.

The above specication ot' my invention signed by me.
